It was a Grant's Farm kind of Father's Day.

Father's Day 2013 at the G.Farm!

CLYDESDALES! 

A couple of the horses came right up to us and were very friendly. 

And this one especially liked our Johnny Boy!

She kept putting her nose right up to his face and sniffing him,

he didn't quite know what to think but we LOVED it!

Is there a more beautiful animal on Earth? 

Maeryn and John loved celebrating their most favorite guy. 

And the best part about the farm... train ride!

Coming in a close second to the train is

feeding the goats milk from a bottle.

I could do without this part, but Maer thinks it's pretty cool!

More cool animals! 

Johnny's first snow cone... 

He's not so sure what all the hype is about! 

We couldn't quite escape the farm without Maer-bear riding some sort of animal.

There weren't any ponies, so a camel it was! 



Just take a little off the top.

Johnny Mac's first trip to the Hairy Elephant!

Little man did great, even smiled for pictures. :-)

I know dude... wierd, huh? 

Maer-Bear getting her doo done too in the next chair over. 

As her stylist put it (regarding Maer's bow choice), "the bigger the better!".

Rockin' the FoHawk. 

Congrats buddy, you survived! 



That Face...



Checking off the list...

First stop on our Summer Fun list was the Magic House!

We've actually made this trip a couple times this summer since we are members

and there is just so much to do there that it really never gets old!

One of Maer's favorite rooms at MH is the art room!

It's the perfect place to be creative. 

Probably her next fav is the Pet Care Place - it's a play Vet's Office.

So fun! 

Our newest discovery was the Nursery.

Maeryn would make a great nurse! 

With her little sidekick there to help too. 

Didn't know our hair could get any crazier...  but apparently, YES it can! 

Another new spot we ventured to for the first time was the outdoor play areas. 

No idea why we never discovered this before, but Maeryn had a blast. 

What a great day and awesome start to our summer! 

Kenney Girls Big Night Out!

One of my favorite bands (besides DMB, of course) is the Zac Brown Band.

Seriously love them, and got the chance to go see them in concert with my aunts and cousin

back in June, one of the best shows I've ever seen...

and I've seen a lot of shows!

Aunts Mary and Brigid, with me and Meghan.

Little Meg and big Meg. 

Seriously.  SO good! 



Yee Haw!

Yes, I'm wayyyy behind again.

These are from back in Early June, celebrating Grandma's birthday.

Ride 'em cowgirl!

Happy Birthday Grandma! 



Summer Days: June Edition

There are so many times during the school year that I am stressed out beyond belief

and feel totally overwhelmed and slightly depressed about how busy 

and crazy our schedules are. 

And then June comes...

Maeryn and I made a list of all of the fun things we want to try and do this summer.

We've made a pretty good dent in this list so far and even on days when we

are laying low at home, we are still trying to make the most of it

and do something we wouldn't normally be able to do duirng the school year.

Here are some of our more laid back days...

at Winghaven Library

Helping me "re-organize" the kitchen cabinets... 

Swim lessons at Lake St. Louis pool

Good job Maer-bear! 

He was so proud of his big sis.

Playing at our neighborhood pool - this is where we spend most of our days...

Park time - also a frequent activity!

Best Buddies!

Maer's first FORT! 

Mani's and Pedi's at our favorite nail "salon". 

More pool time.

Bakyard bubbles with Daddy.

It's been a nice relaxing start to summer, exactly what we needed

after a long stressful year.  We can't wait to check off the rest of our list

and make a ton more awesome memories together!
